REDWAY (CBS/AP) -- State corrections officials say two inmates have escaped from a minimum security facility in Northern California.

Officials say 20-year-old Dennis Rene Welch and 30-year-old Glen Martin Whiteside walked away from the Eel River Conservation Camp near Redway early Saturday.

Both men were wearing orange prison uniforms. They were last seen about 12:20 a.m.

Welch was serving time for first-degree burglary and was scheduled to be paroled in January. Whiteside was serving time for second-degree robbery and was scheduled to be paroled in December 2014.

Officials say anyone with information about them should call 911.
